1. Cuny math placement test...Need Help!!!

   Morribee replied to Redfalcon518's topic in New York

   I recently took the SUNY math placement test, and scored higher than I expected to. I prepared using a CLEP Algebra study guide, College Algebra Demystified, and the Khan Academy website. Of the three, Khan Academy was the most helpful. I'd never tak...

2. Will I be accepted to Joliet Junior College?

   Morribee replied to Reese2012's topic in Illinois

   Just repeating what I said above. If you apply without having the compulsory prereqs done, your application will fail the prescreening and you won't even get to write the TEAS. They will not consider your application if those courses are not complete...

3. Will I be accepted to Joliet Junior College?

   Morribee replied to Reese2012's topic in Illinois

   Oh, I did get accepted - I just can't go. My husband took a job out of state and there is no way for me to stay here in Illinois and go to school. Sorry that I wasn't more clear.

4. Will I be accepted to Joliet Junior College?

   Morribee replied to Reese2012's topic in Illinois

   They're only going to look at your GPA for Eng 101, Psych 101, Psych 215, Heal 109 (nutrition), Bio 250, and Bio 251. You've got 2 Bs and 1 A with 3 classes left to take (though you can apply after you have Bio 250 done). I would really try your best...

5. Did you buy your stethoscope from Amazon?

   Morribee replied to super bolus's topic in General Students

   The Littmans I saw at my school's uniform sale weren't shrinkwrapped either. No clue if they're supposed to be. I had the one I ordered from Medisave engraved, so if it were wrapped they would have had to open it anyways. :)

6. TEAS score for JJC

   Morribee replied to Reese2012's topic in Illinois

   For the group starting in August (thus applied last Feb.), the average composite score for admission was 80%. I think the average for reading was 88%. I don't know what the lowest scores accepted were, but two people I know didn't get in even though ...

7. Transferring to Joliet Junior College: Advice?

   Morribee replied to haruka671's topic in Illinois

   I noticed in the other thread that you still need to finish Bio 151, Chem 100, and the two A&P courses. I would focus on doing well in those courses first before worrying too much about the TEAS. Bio 151 and Chem 100 will cover a large portion of...

8. Joliet Junior College Prereqs

   Morribee replied to capella44's topic in Illinois

   The online nutrition course at JJC is mostly a lot of busywork. There's only one teacher I know of that teaches it online and half your grade will come from discussion board postings. Make sure you understand her guidelines for how many posts/replies...

9. Where these types of things in Science section of TEAS?

   Morribee replied to GirlDotson's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'll share what I recall from taking the TEAS V in March, but it's very possible you'll see a different test than I did. From your list: Gas Laws - yes, I remember answering at least one question on these (maybe two) Tinctures and Emulsification - no...

10. TEAS V Advice

    Morribee replied to cjo85's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If you're taking TEAS V, you don't need to know earth science. There were earth science questions on previous TEAS versions (and some schools still use TEAS IV, I believe), but there aren't any on TEAS V. On the form of the test I took in March there...

11. Summer school anyone?

    Morribee replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm taking Microbiology (blended course, with online content and twice weekly labs in the classroom) and Sociology. I'll only be on campus two days a week, but on those days I'll be there until 10pm. Glad the semester is only six weeks!

12. Freshly Accepted @ JJC!!!! :-)

    Morribee replied to mosuhpanic's topic in Illinois

    Pretty sure a C is all you need to graduate, though it might hold you up trying to get into a BSN or other degree program after JJC. I'm taking it over summer, along with sociology, and I'm nervous!

13. Freshly Accepted @ JJC!!!! :-)

    Morribee replied to mosuhpanic's topic in Illinois

    I think for the first 5-6 weeks clinicals are held in the skills classrooms, so I don't think that slot will be empty. Definitely ask someone at the office though. What clinical site are you going to? I'm at Villa Franciscan/St. Joseph's.

14. How Long does a TEAS V score last?

    Morribee replied to Lauracl22 CNA's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm not sure how long TEAS scores last; I suspect each institution makes up their own rules on that. However, I do think it's a good idea to take A&P before you take the test. I did my TEAS in March and there were a decent number of questions in ...

15. white plus size scrubs

    Morribee replied to bubbasmom's topic in General Students

    Just in case you can buy your own, Cherokee Workwear goes up to 5x and has larger measurements than some other brands. I needed white pants for my CNA class and they were thick enough that people were able to wear light gray leggings underneath witho...
